Two things happened this past week: on the 18th, Apple reported its quarterly earnings and on the 20th, Apple announced some new products.
The first disappointment was with lower-than expected sale of iPads (4.19M sold in the quarter, averaging about 1.4M a month or about 46,000 a day) reported. The analysts who had predicted close to 5M were disappointed.
The second disappointment was a personal one. Before the product announcement, rumours had predicted an 11.6" MacBook Air. I was expecting that the MacBook Air would actually be an iPad running iOS and that it would have a detachable keyboard. Sadly, we got a $999 netbook.
